What sorts of students accept admission to the CIR program? Who will my classmates be?
The CIR class of 2007-2008 looks roughly like other recent cohorts. The average age is 24, with a range from 21-29. Two thirds of the cohort’s members are coming to us straight from college, and the other 33% are coming in with work experience or advanced degrees in a wide variety of fields. Six students already have a Master’s degree. Thirty percent are female. Fourteen percent are from abroad, including China, U.K., South Korea, Taiwan, Serbia, Poland, and Canada. All of our matriculants share a commitment to learning, and to testing their knowledge and abilities in one of the most intense intellectual environments in the world.
